impositions of tariffs means two things at least to me: mutual talks went nowhere because there was no urgency to resolve anything, and both sides will erect trade barriers and collect monies on imports. Tariff history shows stalemate, and later obstinence. Not how allies/friends deal with each other. NOt long term productive behavior on either side. Also, just losers , never winners. Both sides.
